Abstract
We present a new analysis of high-redshift UV observations using a semi-analytic galaxy formation model, and provide self-consistent predictions of the infrared excess (IRX)-β relations and cosmic star formation rate density. We combine the Charlot & Fall dust attenuation model with the MERAXES semi-analytic model, and explore three different parametrizations for the dust optical depths, linked to star formation rate, dust-to-gas ratio, and gas column density, respectively. A Bayesian approach is employed to statistically calibrate model-free parameters including star formation efficiency, mass loading factor, dust optical depths, and reddening slope directly against UV luminosity functions ..
